Progressives, DSA must drop the term "Socialist" now!

If we are to reform the Democratic party during the primaries we must not get tangled up with the terms "socialialist" and "socialism". These labels are forever ruined and a waste of time to explain. Consider swapping out and replacing with "Worker" or "Labor" and never looking back. Avoid "People's" or anything that might sound "marxist". Labels are very dangerous and negativity is impossible to correct, so to use a ruined label as a starting point is doomed to failure!

Why is this important?

I'm deeply worried that our branding is going to fail and we'll slide further into an oligarchy.
